Changing the hood kit, ropes, and sliding guides on the Fiat 500C is not exactly a walk in the park, but with a little patience, it can be done. First of all, open the hood halfway and disconnect the battery to avoid problems with the motor.

Remove the internal roof lining to access the guides. Then unscrew the fasteners of the ropes and guides, remove the old kit, and compare it with the new one for safety.

Install the new guides, thread the ropes into place, and tighten them well. Reassemble everything calmly, check that the hood slides smoothly, and perform a test of opening and closing.

If everything goes smoothly, you have done a great job! If you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself, contact a professional workshop.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
